But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10084]]></link><description><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is subtle but he is not malicious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63282]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is subtle but he is not malicious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me make the newspapers, and I care not what is preached in the pulpit or what is enacted in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me make the newspapers, and I care not what is preached in the pulpit or what is enacted in Congress]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I got here, it was up to the older guys to make me understand how important it was here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42261]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I got here, it was up to the older guys to make me understand how important it was here to win championships and go to the NCAA tournament every year.

But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Back at home, everybody always thought that David was going to be big time.
